I'm 32 loving years old and I still have this exact dream (although it's usually my entire senior year of high school I need to retake) like once a month. The reason differs from dream to dream but the end result is always me sitting in something like Trigonometry going FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I'm not sure why as high school was never stressful for me, nor was college or law school other than the time investment. Maybe my subconscious was secretly freaking the gently caress out the whole time while I was outwardly  but I don't think so...

Paging Phil Moscowitz (I think - whoever our Louisiana lawyer is), there's an interesting LA question in the legal questions megathread. At least, I think it's interesting.

For the past three years I've had recurring dreams of some kind of composition class and a chemistry class that I've skipped the majority of/didn't turn in any work and probably will fail. They're weird because they progress, each dream is later and later in the semester.

In a 10 week summer program I gained 20 pounds. If that pace keeps up indefinitely throughout my working career I'll break a ton at about age 40

Too busy just readjusting to academic life to have the will to do anything. But yeah, it's time to get back on the wagon.

This 3L year I'm just saying gently caress it and working out, I'm sick of letting law school destroy my body AND my soul. If I have to do the absolute bare minimum it takes not to get booted off LR then so be it.

Abugadu posted:I'm inactive in two jurisdictions now, more because I didn't want to pay active membership fees than because of any CLE stuff. It's such a stupid sunk cost, because I'm not planning to practice in either of the two, but "you never know", and I wouldn't want to pay/take the bar again. The big thing is that I, class of '07, have used my bar license twice in the intervening years: both times to represent my wife for fix-it tickets because I could take time off of work to go to court to sign the consent dismissal and she couldn't.

I really don't think an extra year of law school (aside from WT&E) will do poo poo for me. I've got expert witness challenges to do and I'm 90% sure I'm going to trial during my finals period and my finals are going to tank as a result, just like they did when I was in a last minute MSJ brief-fest during finals last semester. Bitch bitch grumble grumble.

So interview awards came out and my subpar grades netted me six interviews. That said, for at least one of them, they seemed impressed when I called around back in June to do research and get a feel for the different offices and so on, apparently very few law students actually do this. So while I can't say yet that this will have any impact on my actually getting a summer job offer, it seems like helpful advice: Call the drat people, can't hurt, might help.

Either you got chosen by the firm or you get a random "lottery" slot. Or an alternate slot. Basically they didn't really want to interview you, but the CSO is making them. Do I have that right CpnScraps?

I didn't even bother applying. Eccchhh.

When you get the list of people you'll be interviewing, go to their Facebook pages and print out embarrassing pictures of them. Begin your interview by asking them to explain the pictures. A firm did this to one of my friends during 2L OCI and the result was hilarious for everyone except him.

Tell them your daughter died last week and she went to the school and you are here for the funeral, and your firm thought it would be "good for you" to do the interviews to take your mind off things. Then start to cry. Then have the poor girl in the interview awkwardly comfort you and then don't even give her a callback. That was my most memorable and traumatic OCI interview anyway.

He said he wanted to too though so I'm not sure how it went down. If I were a partner of a firm and another partner said they wanted to do the interviews and it would make them feel better, I would probably tell them to just relax... but if they were insistent that it would make them feel better, I might give in. I was the first interview of the day and apparently he didn't break down on any of my friends in the later interviews. The firm in question: http://www.eapdlaw.com/
